Competitive Landscape
Sealing trees requires specialized equipment and expertise. The market is dominated by a few major players with established track records and certifications. To stay competitive, smaller businesses must offer niche services, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service. Partnerships with other tree service providers can also expand reach and enhance value propositions.
Value Proposition
Compared to traditional methods of tree removal, sealing trees offers several advantages. It preserves the tree’s aesthetic value, minimizes environmental impact, and can potentially increase property value. However, it is a more complex and time-consuming process, and the results may not be as immediate. For trees with advanced decay or root damage, sealing may not be a viable option.
Alternative Solutions
In cases where sealing is not feasible or desired, alternative solutions include tree removal and root barrier installation. Tree removal is the most drastic measure and should only be considered as a last resort. Root barriers can be installed around healthy trees to prevent encroaching roots from damaging underground infrastructure or nearby vegetation. They are less invasive than sealing but may be less effective in cases of severe root damage.
